I've got two servers with two two EIPs and I've done a migration from one to the other and now want one of the EC2s to manage both EIPs till I upgrade it.

I've followed the instructions to add it and it displays in the console however no additional network interface comes up using netstat -i and when I assign the EIP to the private IP the server doesn't respond.

I added the additional routes, rules and configs but when I try to restart the network service it fails stating eth1 does not seem to be present.

Once I add the additional private IP to the network interface should it show up with netstat -i? Am I doing the right thing for what I'm trying to achieve?

You probably don't need an additional network interface. Just create a subinterface with the second IP. Example, for Debian/Ubuntu ( /etc/network/inteface):

auto eth0:1
iface eth0:1 inet static
address x.x.x.x
netmask x.x.x.x
